In a bid to strengthen its foothold in India, the Oman Tourism Board is now turning its focus to the southern cities Bengaluru and Chennai. The board has adopted a three pronged approach which includes tactical promotions, trade trainings and participations, and on- ground events. The tourism board is also finalising tactical promotions with regional tour operators from both the markets. Apart from this, they will be doing extensive focused trainings with tour operators from both the regions to increase awareness about the destination. A media campaign is also underway and will help build the brand in these two regions.
